The process for adding QuickTime to a web page is discussed later in this chapter. For general information on QuickTime, see Apple’s site at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/. For complete information on all aspects of QuickTime creation and delivery, I recommend the book QuickTime for the Web for Windows and Macintosh by Steven Gulie (Morgan Kaufmann).
The following summarizes the QuickTime format:
|
Good for... |
Delivering video to a wide audience (very good support). |
|
Delivery |
True streaming via RTP or RTSP (using QuickTime Server on Mac OS X Server or the open source Darwin Streaming Server on Unix and Windows), pseudostreaming on HTTP servers, download. |
|
Creation tools |
Most video editing and conversion tools support QuickTime, or use Apple’s basic editing tool, QuickTime Pro, for $29.95. |
|
Player |
QuickTime plug-in (part of Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer) for viewing within a web browser or QuickTime Player (standalone utility). |
